A new day

First giving honor to God......lol!! Hey fam!!! I'm back

Let me begin, We have alot to cover today. A couple of "sightings", couple of violations, a little this a little that....

disclaimer: thi sis being used as my virtual diary, again My thoughts, My opinions

follow me: yesterday was an eventful one ( in more ways than one) .Event 1) my twin (Champ) made me aware that we have been working with Star Jones (pre -gastric) for a whole school year> when i say "pre"<>> moving on, so in she walks with this "tassled tank" and a comb back and *BAM* that was it: David Ruffin, From The Temptations, the movie..so in actuality SHE looks like LEON playing David Ruffin. I mean she's giving him a serious run for his money>>>> lady in the front office? Dead Ringer for Ms. Tobias, Lean on Me, yup that's her...... >>>>>lastly one of my students is definitely giving Katt Williams, flip( correction FLOPPED) ear bob. Pimp Chronicles 1 and 2......ok i'm done...for now


anywho............
This weekend passed , I had one of the most memorable weekends of my life. I was afforded the opportunity to attend THE POWDER GROUP'S Make Up convention in NY. Nothing short of AMAZING... Beat my face, Lay my hair, Snatch my brow, make sure my lashes are to HERE, cland close the MF-ing casket...I literally died an went to MAKE UP HEAVEN!!!!!!!! Fabulosity for days; not only the speakers and representatives but those in attendance: Red -bottoms , bags and beat faces GALORE!!!!!!!!!! The classes were just as interesting as the people: My absolute fave was conducted by the Queen of Snatch: Eugenia Weston of Senna Cosmetics. Let me tell you about Ms. Weston: not only did she break down the technicalities of eye brow "construction/de-construction" ( for lack of better words), but she gave points/angles of reference on the face , tips on filling in with powder and pencil, lessons on waxing vs. tweezing... I mean I could go on for DAYS....but the part in which I gagged [ no literally choked on my tongue, and after I swallowed my spit , threw up in my mouth again) SHE CHARGES $75.OO....FOR BROWS!! and she did not hesitate to tell us she has at LEAST 1,000 clients a week. [sidebar: calculations $75/person x 1,000 clients= $150,000 every 2 weeks.......( I'll wait for you to finish wiping the drool from your chin , cause I know your wouth is open) ].....Nevertheless, she has further motivated me in MY quest............ (PICS WILL BE POSTED ONCE I HAVE TIME TO UPLOAD TO THE COMPUTER)
My advice, whether you beat it like a cop, beat faces into boxes , or beat those masks to the ground; professional ,amateur or whatever category you put yourself in, I mean even if you just like to 'play' in make up, THIS show, event, experience is so neccessary to your well-being.................... I will keep you abreast of other dates and events. cool?....cool


As i prepare to serve the benediction, I leave you with words of wisdom and inspiration:

"If you're living in the past, you're living in a place that doesn't exist....."

Whatever you've been through, that's just it: you've been THROUGH it. You are no longer there...Everyday is a new day, full of possibilities, hope, and new experiences. That argument you had with your friend/signficant other/mom/boss? over it: The baby you had at 19, or the abortion you had last week? over ; the drugs you used or spouse you cheated on? over; the child you neglected/gave up/didn't know how to love? over. LEARN FROM IT;DON'T LIVE IN IT................Each day God chooses to wake you up, is a blank canvas.....take advantage of it...make the best of your TODAY your RIGHT NOW.....tomorrow is never promised....... .


Now. May the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart........LOL!!



Loving me, Loving you , Loving life

*muah*

Well, twinskies (you know I just figured out that this name was great on TWO levels: we are twins (duh) and we BOTH LOVE SKIS!)...
Giving honor to God, Pastor, Visiting family, etc. HERE...we..GO!
Did you say David Ruffin? I think what you meant to say is that one of the members of the front office staff (I'll leave it up to you to guess) is definitely giving James Evans, Jr., AKA J.J... Is that what you meant to say?
And I shudder at the thought of Mr. Carter/Jigga Man/Dat Nigga Jigga, considering the fact that SHE is a rapper turned Candy Striper...orthopedic shoes though?
Anyway, I love your mean "will-go-on-someone's-child-in-a-second-and-tell-administration-to-kiss-your-ass-in-a-millisecond-after-arriving-to-work-at-7:45-looking-fierce-as-shit" ass. Did I mention you were my inspiration? Did I say that you were fly? Did I mention that you didn't give a...you know the rest. *I love my twin* (up on the roof, singing)
Love.
